    Interview: Sep, 2012

    Nemuri

    Will the point of view characters be the same as Way of Kings?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Main viewpoint characters will be the same, with a touch more Navani. We will have a glimpse from a few side characters as well, including a sequence of Parshendi viewpoints.

    Interview: Sep, 2012

    McCullough

    In what ways do you feel that finishing the Wheel of Time helped to prepare you for The Stormlight Archive and how did it change your writing in general, if at all?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I gained three things, I feel, by working over the years on the WoT. (And, in particular, by studying RJ's work in depth.) I learned how to better balance lots of different viewpoints, I got a better grip for foreshadowing and subtlety over many books, and I gained a deeper understanding of how to write a really sold third person viewpoint.

    Interview: Dec 6th, 2012

    Question

    Brandon, have we seen a point of view chapter from the character who writes the Ars Arcanum?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I’m not gonna tell you that. That would be way too much giving away.

    QUESTION

    Is the character who writes the Ars Arcanum from Sel originally?

    BRANDON SANDERSON

    I’m not gonna tell you anything about the character who writes the Ars Arcanum.

    Interview: Apr 24th, 2016

    Question

    There is a scope (scale) of unreliability: some because of … or intent. of intent in unreliable narrator.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Hoid can be very intentionally unreliable. There are not many 3rd person viewpoint Cosmere stories. So when we are in the character’s POV, like Kelsier is unreliable in that he doesn’t go into his plan, which is technically by intent, but more because he’s like “I can’t think about this” than design. It also is him lying to the reader a bit.

    Interview: Feb 20th, 2015

    Question

    So the first one is Kaladin’s backstory, the second is Shallan’s backstory, who’s next?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I actually haven’t been able to decide yet. It’s going to be one of the five for the first five books are Kaladin and Shallan and then Dalinar, Szeth, and Eshonai and I can’t decide which one matches the next book best. And I’m going to have to write it...

    Argent

    What’s the current list for the back five?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Current list for the back five… Jasnah, Lift, Ash, Renarin, and Taln.

    Interview: Apr 2nd, 2015

    Ruro272

    Will we see all of the Heralds doing things in the upcoming books?

    Brandon Sanderson

    The back five books are all about the Heralds. Two of them claim to be Heralds..... Two of the point-of-views will be Heralds.

    Footnote

    This fits well with what I've read from this site; specifically Taln and Ash are the Herald POVs in the back five according to other WoB. The interesting tidbit here is that "two of them claim to be Heralds" with the implied "but...." in his tone.

    Interview: Oct 17th, 2015

    Question

    [??? Presumably about the interval between Stormlight 5 and 6]

    Brandon Sanderson

    I can't tell you too much without giving you spoilers. It's not a jump like Mistborn. It's more like ten or fifteen years. It will be the same characters, but some of the main characters will fade to be more minor characters, and some of the minor characters will fade to be more major characters. For example, Lift is one of the main characters for the second part, and Jasnah, and Renarin, and such.
